Re: Calling a program without knowing the parms

Carel,

Since some of the calls will be to RPG programs that are already written 
and I do not want to change their parameters at some point the string would 
have to be broken out and a Call statement formatted. I think it has come 
done to a large string and using an array of offsets to know how to break 
up the string and pointers to pass the values.

Thanks
John Ross
